Q: changing from a z visa to a study visa?
hi guys, I wondered if anyone can give any information about what is involved in changing from a work(z) visa to a student visa. i assume i would need to leave china to change the visa. would it then be a simple process to begin work again? i want study chinese for a short time doing a laguage course at university. has anyone done this before?

I do that almost on a weekly basis ... It's very easy:
Firstly, one must have Z visa ... authenticated BA, TEFL/TESOL Cert., Non-crim. Cert., 2-years of documented post grad working experience ...
Application for Z visa form must be filled entirely over the Internet ... and submitted to officials at Chinese Embassy in one's home country.
Once, you'll finish all above, come back and we'll transfer you to the student's visa.
I read, new requirement will be ''applicant must submit her/his social media history ...'', so 'no-more-lying' and 'presumptuous' postings ...

You bought into my last paragraph ... did you? 
What date is today, he he ..? 
You're reading with 'proper-horse's-blinkers'-on ... ?

Last time OP posted he/she was crying a)how to/could get Z without or with only 1/2 of the completed degree?; b)how to change from student RP to Z RP in China; and similar, so ...
... and the web link, I c&p is the new proposal of requirement for tourists applying for Tourist visa entering USA ... How long do you think, Chinese will need to implement the same requirement and most likely implement it at the visa application for LT stay &work in China?
yes, you may apply for short term student visa, need to get the visa in your own country or another country like south Korea ,Japan and Malaysia, I can recommand you some school if you need
Actually it's possible. You can shift to student visa.Your school will process the document you need to apply your student visa to your home country then come back to study. The time you intend to work again, it's the same process you need to bring your documents to your home country to acquire work visa .
